<p>Permits you to retrieve a specific segment. Where n is the segment
number you wish to retrieve. Segments are numbered from left to right.
For example, if your full URL is this:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">http</span><span class="o">://</span><span class="nx">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">com</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">index</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">php</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">news</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">local</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">metro</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">crime_is_up</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The segment numbers would be this:</p>
<ol class="arabic simple">
<li>news</li>
<li>local</li>
<li>metro</li>
<li>crime_is_up</li>
</ol>
<p>The optional second parameter defaults to NULL and allows you to set the return value
of this method when the requested URI segment is missing.
For example, this would tell the method to return the number zero in the event of failure:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$product_id</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">uri</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">segment</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="mi">0</span><span class="p">);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>It helps avoid having to write code like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="k">if</span> <span class="p">(</span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">uri</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">segment</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">)</span> <span class="o">===</span> <span class="k">FALSE</span><span class="p">)</span>

<p>This method lets you turn URI segments into an associative array of
key/value pairs. Consider this URI:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">index</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">php</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">user</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">search</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">name</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">joe</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">location</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">UK</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">gender</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">male</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Using this method you can turn the URI into an associative array with
this prototype:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="p">[</span><span class="k">array</span><span class="p">]</span>
<span class="p">(</span>
        <span class="s1">&#39;name&#39;</span>          <span class="o">=&gt;</span> <span class="s1">&#39;joe&#39;</span>
        <span class="s1">&#39;location&#39;</span>      <span class="o">=&gt;</span> <span class="s1">&#39;UK&#39;</span>
        <span class="s1">&#39;gender&#39;</span>        <span class="o">=&gt;</span> <span class="s1">&#39;male&#39;</span>
<span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The first parameter lets you set an offset, which defaults to 3 since your
URI will normally contain a controller/method pair in the first and second segments.
Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$array</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">uri</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">uri_to_assoc</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="k">echo</span> <span class="nv">$array</span><span class="p">[</span><span class="s1">&#39;name&#39;</span><span class="p">];</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The second parameter lets you set default key names, so that the array
returned will always contain expected indexes, even if missing from the URI.
Example:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$default</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="k">array</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;name&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;gender&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;location&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;type&#39;</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="s1">&#39;sort&#39;</span><span class="p">);</span>
<span class="nv">$array</span> <span class="o">=</span> <span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">uri</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">uri_to_assoc</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">,</span> <span class="nv">$default</span><span class="p">);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>If the URI does not contain a value in your default, an array index will
be set to that name, with a value of NULL.</p>
<p>Lastly, if a corresponding value is not found for a given key (if there
is an odd number of URI segments) the value will be set to NULL.</p>
